Story Behind The Song

My 25 year old boyfriend was living with his parents...living off of his parents more like it. I was ready to make a commitment, he was too. But it included his parents. Creepy.

Song Description

Either you grow up, get out of your momma's house or I'm leaving

Lyrics

You're just a dead end, you got no aspirations
Got no ambitions, you're drinking from you parents' tears
You conquered tv, just living in the end zone
Life's one big easy that has no end

Isn't it time you get a life (don't you want me)
Isn't it time you got a wife (don't you need me)
You stay with your mom and daddy
You think that the world's for free
One woman will never hold you
You wanna be always....Seventeen

You don't know nothin' bout trials and tribulations
Don't ask for favors, I've gven all that I can give
You've seen the same walls for way too many years
You think your life's perfection, so you'll never rise up, you'll never get out

Isn't it time you get a life (don't you want me)
Isn't it time you got a wife (don't you need me)
You stay with your mom and daddy
You think that the world's for free
One woman will never hold you
You wanna be always....

I pray for you a time or two
You play your games
I've laid the law,
You've heard it all I had to say
I've overcome, are you the one
Why do I stay

Isn't it time you get a life (don't you want me)
Isn't it time you got a wife (don't you need me)
You stay with your mom and daddy
You think that the world's for free
One woman will never hold you
You wanna be always....Seventeen

Don't you want me, don't you need me (Seventeen)
